Miss Laundry Misshap Posts: 5271	Does anyone own one of the Insta-Hot portable hot water heaters? Looking at the original and the Power Max, but I'm really not sure what I would need. Don't want to get the original and not have the water warm enough when it's cool - 65-70- out. But don't want to spend an extra $200 if it's really not necessary.

Miss Laundry Misshap Posts: 5271	Does the water actually get hot or lukewarm? I'm concerned that with our colder ground temps it won't get hot enough for cool outside temps.

Lived to tell about it and will never do it again Posts: 5408	FLITASTIC - 2017-02-16 10:34 AM Look Up ZODI camping shower. Works great on animals to and when I say Instant hot, i mean it!!! Almost to the point of scalding if your not careful. I use the 2 burner model . What is the recovery rate on the water temp? Does it connect to a water hose so it stays filled up or are you limited on the amount of water you can use?
